It seems to me that the majority of topics here are in Dutch.
I know, most Dutch speak fluent English, so they don't really need a Dutch section.
What do you think? Should I create a Dutch subforum?
If the answer is yes, I'll need one or more local mods.

If you need another mod, i would like to apply, just for this forum.
Seems kind of dead, also stated in the welcome section of that forum. Most of us speak English/German, or at least, we understand it. Personally i think this section is not needed.

Irish will be the second language to be successfully revived (the other is Hebrew).

I am sure one day the Anglish folk will purify English and remove its foreign borrowings.

Anyways, I am pretty damn wasted right now, so I shall get to the point: it is best to never make assumptions that language families can always overlap. Frisian and Dutch are two different languages. Welsh and Irish are completely different languages.

Like Portuguese and Spanish: they both sound the same, they both look a lot a like, but if you ever called a Spaniard a "Portuguese" you are probably gonna get your ass handed to you.
